1. Endless Options. Enjoying the comforts of home can be more fun. With today’s blue ray, 3-D, dvd, cable, or satellite you can watch nearly everything you want to right at home. You decide, put it on your screen and watch things your way.

2. Go far without going out. With a home theater the action comes to life and keeps you on the edge of your couch, bed or dining table. Bring all the entertainment in without hitting busy roads and spending gas, time and effort.

3. Relax. You’re at home, so make yourself at home. It’s not Broadway. Don’t bother getting fancied up, filling up the tank or calling a sitter…but if you want to anyway, go right ahead. Keep the comforts to your own level with nobody showing up uninvited.

4. Select your settings. You know all too well about compromise. Want more light, but she wants less? Or how about different sound levels for different things you watch (especially is that aspiring Idol can’t sing)? Set it your way when you’re set up in a home theater adjusted to your tastes (or your spouse’s).

5. For frugal flick fans. You love movies, but a ticket nowadays can cost more than a decent meal. Lines, limited seating and sky-high snack prices damper the experience more than ever, especially when you can do it your way without having to pay. No more checking showtimes and planning what to do around them. No price of admission to be paid. You pick what popcorn to pop, what else to snack on, whether you wear shoes or socks or not and how you sit, lay or stand to watch a flick. Save plenty of cash in the process and you can do a trip to a theater more often!

6. Surreal Sports. Face it, football’s back and it’s much cooler to watch those hard hits and up-close replays on a screen. For all your sports, highlight shows and dozens of channels, home theaters are a home run. You want to enjoy the action, but at a game you never know when you’ll be stuck behind the 6-foot-8 fan or an annoying couple making out. At home you could create you own scene involving all of the above, but you could also DVR the event or watch just part of it.

7. Satisfy everybody. You want the best bang for your entertainment buck, and you can have all your friends and family reap the benefits as well. No need to trek all over New Jersey to destinations like AC, the shore, Six Flags, or the Meadowlands. Bring the action right into your living room with a home theater system that livens your senses, sets the atmosphere you want when you want, and keeps guests coming back for more. Maybe you should start charging admission.

8. Free up family time. The home theater is here to add the spirit to any night of the week. Whether you work long hours, travel or shuffle the kids everywhere they need to be, there’s little time to plan out your activities as a family. With a home theater you can come home from the long New York area commute, press a button and have access to viewing entertainment for the whole family or even of the whole family if you’re into home videos. If you’ve got a big group at home, have everyone get to choose and change channels as necessary.

9. So where should you sit? The home theater allows you to plan the seating arrangement (if there will be one). Maybe you build a bar like Cheers, where everybody knows your name – except this one comes with a big screen, lights and sound system to blow the 80’s away. Whether you want one in your bedroom, basement, garage or kids’ rooms a home theater investment adds value no matter what.

10. Best of all – do it all over again, any time you feel like!
